Verdict

POWER OF THE BRAVE (1) resumes and looks the one they all have to beat. Proven fresh and unbeaten over this course and trip, he's been tuned up with two trials and reunites with the apprentice who knows him best. Boasts plenty of ratings good enough to take care of these first-up. NO STATEMENT (2) hasn't quite clicked in his last two, but backing up quickly could be the key. Loves this track and trip, maps to stalk the speed, and the claim gets him right into the mix. MARKWELL DREAMER (4) doesn't win often but is racing better than the form book reads. From the good draw and down in the weights, he's a genuine hope. DESIROUS (6) strips fitter second-up and should be hitting the line strongly late. PRINCESS CRUIZER (3) next best.
